During my HR career, it’s been difficult to ignore the uptick in managers complaining about the still (relatively new) challenge of managing Millennials, a generation often perceived as markedly independent and stubborn.

After finally getting the courage to tell your boss that you quit, it’s tempting to spend the next two weeks doing, um, nothing. While that plan sounds tempting, it'll only cause you more stress later down the road.

Like many other millennials hoping to break into the national security world, I hightailed it to Washington, D.C. the minute I had my master’s diploma in hand. Once there, I networked myself into a frenzy as I searched for a job that would satisfy my...

If all goes well, by the end of this year Tony Hsieh won't be the CEO of Zappos. In fact, he won't be anything there, just another employee without a title. It may sound like any other CEO's worst nightmare, but for Hsieh and Zappos, it's a bold new ...

For many casual observers, General Motors took an unexpected turn on Tuesday when it announced that Mary Barra will become the company's first female CEO. Barra, 51, will replace Dan Akerson next month. Akerson, 65, has said that his retirement was h...
